1981 Datsun 280ZX review from North America
"A high performance dream if you know what your doing, and very cheap!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pressure regulator had to be replaced when I first got the car. Other than that, it's been great!
General comments?
14.1 on street tires, fast enough for a stock built engine?
I drive a Honda Civic for my everyday driver and whenever I get the chance to drive my Datsun, I love it. It's such a great car.
Everyone who's been in my car says the seats are one of the best seats they have ever sat in.
It will rust easy, so you really need to watch out for rust when buying one.
Also any bondo repairs are really bad!
Any one needs anymore help on Zs, check out www.zcar.com, they will help you in anyway.
